XPO LOGISTICS REAFFIRMS ITS CONFIDENCE IN RENAULT TRUCKS AND ITS ‘FRENCH ORIGIN’ VEHICLES

Last Monday (10th April 2017), Renault Trucks and XPO Logistics celebrated the signing of a two-year contract in Renault Trucks Square, Lyon for the investment of tens of millions of euros by XPO Logistics in Renault Trucks ‘Guaranteed French Origin’ vehicles.

The new two-year contract demonstrates the strong relationship between the two companies, which dates back to 1979, and their continued commitment to French manufacturing expertise.

Designed and manufactured in France since 1894, Renault Truck vehicles carry the ‘Guaranteed French Origin’ label - a certification that promotes the expertise of its French production sites located in Blainville-sur-Orne, Bourg-en-Bresse and Lyon. Awarded by the association ProFrance, Renault Trucks’ vehicles are the only trucks to carry this official certification, which was recently renewed until 2020.

XPO Logistics, as one of the ten largest global providers of transport and logistics services, has long been committed to investing in trucks made in France, regularly renewing its fleet in order to provide its drivers and customers with high-performance, efficient and reliable work tools that meet the highest environmental standards.

As Luis Angel Gomez, Managing Director, Transport Solutions–Europe at XPO Logistics, explained, “The renewing of our longstanding collaboration with Renault Trucks is further proof of our desire to continue investing in a ‘Guaranteed French Origin’ fleet over the forthcoming years.”

Bruno Blin, President of Renault Trucks, emphasised, “Delivery of this 2,500th Euro-6 Renault truck and the signing of this two-year contract demonstrate the confidence XPO Logistics has in our brand and the quality of French products. Our desire is to support XPO in its growth, supplying it with high-performance transport solutions that meet the demands of its customers and operations.”

The 2,500 Renault Trucks Euro-6 vehicles in service with XPO Logistics’ fleet include both Range D and Range T trucks which are used for regional, national and international transportation.
